Capacity and delay analysis for data gathering with compressive sensing in wireless sensor networks
(2013 , Article)
Compressive sensing (CS) provides a new paradigm for efficient data gathering in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). In this paper, with the assumption that sensor data is sparse we apply the theory of CS to data gathering ...
Influence of solution chemistry on Cr(VI) reduction and complexation onto date-pits/tea-waste biomaterials
(2013 , Article)
Tea waste (TW) and Date pits (DP) were investigated for their potential to remove toxic Cr(VI) ions from aqueous solution. Investigations showed that the majority of the bound Cr(VI) ions were reduced to Cr(III) after ...
Ride-through capability of grid-connected brushless cascade DFIG wind turbines in faulty grid conditions-A comparative study
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Article)
Doubly-fed induction generator (DFIG)-based wind turbines (WTs) are reported to suffer reliability problems due to the presence of slip-rings, brushes, and the gearbox. These disadvantages encouraged several research groups ...
Caloric expenditure estimation for health games
(
Hamad bin Khalifa University Press (HBKU Press)
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
With the decline in physical activities among young people, it is essential to monitor their physical activity and ensure their calorie expenditure is within the range necessary to lead a healthy life style. For many ...
Integrating ethics into the chemical engineering curriculum: The Qatar University experience
(2013 , Conference Paper)
Qatar is growing at an unprecedented rate due to the utilization of its vast gas reserves. The country's wealth stems from oil, gas and petrochemical industries. Engineers are in high demand in all specializations and Qatar ...
Applying statistical antenna approach in jet engine electromagnetic field analysis
(2013 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, statistical antenna approach is applied to develop an equivalent model for the fields generated by a fixed excitation inside a jet engine with dynamic rotating blade. The equivalent model is represented by ...
Off-line writer identification using multi-scale local binary patterns and SR-KDA
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Writer identification is becoming an increasingly important research topic especially in forensic and biometric applications. This paper presents a novel method for performing offline write identification by using multi-scale ...
Area spectral efficiency of underlay cognitive radio transmission over rayleigh fading channels
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
Cognitive radio is a promising technology to improve the spectrum utilization by allowing the unlicensed (secondary) user share a frequency bandwidth with the licensed (primary) owner under the condition that no harmful ...
Optimum power transmission-based droop control design for multi-terminal HVDC of offshore wind farms
(
IEEE
, 2013 , Article)
Power generation through wind is expected to play a major role in the world's future energy portfolio. Nevertheless, wind power integration remains a challenging research area due to the special characteristics of wind ...
A distributed control approach for autonomic performance management in cloud computing environment
(
IEEE Computer Society
, 2013 , Conference Paper)
In this paper, a distributed control based performance management approach is developed for a general class of web services deployed in a cloud computing environment. This approach is developed using interaction balance ...
